Breakfast 1038Gregory Morrow" trouble wrote in Your Gumbo sounds wonderful. I really miss my friend Karen's gumbo. She moved to Manhattan with her...
I haven't had lefse in years -- more than twenty-five years, I would guess. My grandmother on my dad's side is of German ancestry. She used to make lefse. I don't remember it being my favorite. I always remember her most delicious fudge, candies, Pfefferneuse cookies, all kinds of treats. She made some fudge for a New Years family reunion of that side of the family a couple of years ago. I was going on and on about her candy skills, and she and everyone else kept saying, "And lefse! Remember how we would all eat the lefse!" It was so important to everyone else. I do remember we would butter and sugar it and roll it up. My dad is from North Dakota and my mom is from Georgia. My brother and I were the strange southern kids at the North Dakota get togethers. Maybe my palate just didn't appreciate lefse at the time. I should try it again. Next time I see her, maybe she can show me how it's made.
Tara My uncle also makes ludefisk, but that is another story and everyone in the family disowns him everytime he brings it around.
